~In0uence Upon the Latter.

Inauence Upon tho Latter.
While so many are interested In fish
ponds because Of the fish that are to be
reared in them, it may not DO amiss to
speak Of their possible influence upon
our climate, which seems to be UNDER
going changes that arc noticed with
feelings of uneasiness. It may DO OBJ
served that bodies Of water have a
tempering influence upon climate.
much the same as forests have. All
who have studied the movements OF
storms arc aware Of the influence which
q stream of water has upon their
course. An especial opportunity do
those enjoy, in this respect, who live
upon the dividing line or ''water she'd
between two rivers.
When, in a time of drought, shower
comes up in your direction, it will
almost always turn and follow n or
the other Of the streams. Indeed.
1t is not an unfrequent occur
renee for it to divide, part following
one stream and part the other.
When there is a severe drought in a
section of country it is not uncommon
to see a cloud come up in a certain
distance and stop there until the water
all rains out of it. so that it is only
after repeated efforts, SO to speak, that
a shower can pass over the dry and
heated section; but after the ground
has become wet we see no of
these things. and it rains as it did in
the days of old. The clouds roll up as
though they meant business, and pour
out the water to our hearts content
and sometimes more.
What makes these differences, if it
is not the attraction of the moisture
upon the earth for that in the clouds?
From these considerations we are led
to believe that bodies and streams Of
water exert an important and attract.
i've influence upon rain storms, espe-
cially in dry times. when there is most
ne ed of it. And, furthermore, since
it is an acknowledged fact that all
rain originates from evaporation, the
vapor saturating the atmosphere with
moisture, which is condensed into
clouds and falls rs rain, it follows as a
logical sequence that in those regions
where there are numerous streams
and bodies of water, these necessary
agents are always at hand. and always
at work in the formation of rain.
From these considerations it would
seem that if every farmer had his fish
pond it might be an important allevia-
ton of severe droughts. Again, it is
well known that countries adjacent to
large bodies of water, like Michigan.
Maryland, Delaware and New York are
favorable to the production of fruit.
Why? Because the climate is less sub
ject to those sudden and violent
changes which are destructive to fruit.
Water absorbs heat from the sun and
air, but retains it longer, giving it off
o slowly than the earth; from which
circumstance it becomes a reservoir Of
heat, which is given off during the
night after the earth has parted with
its supply. This is no small item in
the spring, when the fruit is in bloom.

THE LOVE OF MOTHER.
Il II the Same In Any Language, and Good
In All Languages.

In All Languages.
We were at a railroad junction one
night. waiting a few hours for a train
in the waiting-room, in the only rock
ing-chair. trying to talk a b%rown-eycd
boy to sleep. who talks a great deal
himself when he wants to keep awake.
Presently a freight train arrived. and a
beautiful little old woman came in. es.
cortcd by a German. and they talked
in German. he giving her. evidently. q
lot of information about the route she
was going, and telling her about her
tickets and baggage-check. and occa.
sionally patting her on tho arm. At
first our United States baby. who did
not understand German. was tickled to
hear them talk. and he '.snickered'' at
the peculiar sound of the language that
was being spoken. The big man put
his hand to the old lady's cheek and
said something encouraging, and a
tear came to her eye and she looked as
happy as a queen. The brown eyes Of
the boy opened pretty big, and his face
sobered down from its laugh, and he
said:
Papa, it is the mother"
W. knew it was, but how should a
four-year-old sleepy baby that couldn't
understand German tell that the lady
was the big mans mother? We asked
him how he knew, and he said:
"Oh, the big man was so kind to
her."
The big man hustled out; we
gave the little. old mother the rocking
chair, and presently the mar came in
with a baggage man. and to him no
spoke English. He said:
"This is my mother, and she does
not speak English. She is going to
Iowa. and I have got to 60 back on the
next train, but l want you to attend to
her baggage, and see her on the right
car. the real cal. with a good seat near
the center, and tell the conductor she
is my mother. And here's a dollar for
you. and I'll do as much for your
mother some time"
The baggage man grasped the dollar
with one hand, grasped the big mans
hand with the other, and looked at the
the little German mother with an ex-
preston that showed that he had a
mother, too; and we almost knew that
the old lady was we'll treated. Then
we put the sleeping mind-reader on a
bench and went out on the platform
and got acquainted with the big Ger
man. And he talked of horse trading,
buying and selling, and every thing
that showed he was "A live man, ready
for any speculation, from buying a
yearling colt to a crop Of hops or bar
ley. and that his life was n very busy
one; and at times he was full of hard
work, disappointment and rough roads;
but with all this hurry and excitement
he "a kind to his mother, and we
loved him just a little, and when, after
a few minutes talk about business, he
said: you must excuse me, l must
60 into the depot and see if my mother
wants any thing" we felt like grasp
ing his fat, red hand and kissing it.
Oh. the love of mother is the samein
any language, and it is good in all
languages. -Brooklyn Eagle.

VERY KNOWING.

tress and shamed III Man with the
"sneezing Dog"
The gap between brute intelligence
and human reason does often seem a
very narrow one. l remember being
greatly entertertained by the display Of
'.mind'' in a little dog belonging to Miss
Chamberlain, 1.-THE whistling soloist."
During a call. the little fellow came in.
Presently, Didn't you hear some one
drive up, Ella?' said Mrs. Chamber
lain to her daughter, in an ordinary
tone.
Max, the little Skye terrier, was
lying on the mat. He at ono jumped
up from his apparent sleep, ran to the
window, stood on his hind feet, and
looked out, and seeing no one turned
to the amused company and shook his
head sideways, expressing an emphatic
'.No."
"Shut the door, Max" said his mis-
tress. The little fellow looked up. cast
his eye about the room for an open
door, and seeing the front hall door
open. pushed away a chair. frisked in
behind, rose on his hind feet, put his
f~ore-psws against it and pushed it to,
after which he ran to his mistress for
approval.
'You didn't shut it."
Looking around and seeing it swing
ing open he ran back and shut it as be-
fore. and came back to his mistress.
"Why, Max, it isn't shut now!'
Seeing it open just a crack he went
back with an evident spirit of disgust.
and standing on his hind feet, reached
his fore-feet almost to the knob and
stood there striking the door s~pitefully
until he heard the latch click, when he
jumped down and frisked his little tail
and fairly danced all over with de-
light.
"Can you waltz for me, MAXI" said
one of the ladies. upon which the little
dandy acquitted himself gracefully,
going round and round with playful
antics. want a piece Of cake?" said
she; and the dog came up as gracious
as the most accomplished tease, wrig-

"Wite off now; wife of now, wife off

tie head with a will.

though wholly out of patience. and she
tossed him the cake.

Looking up at me a moment a.

stool. stood on his hind feet, and rat
tied the keys with his fore feet. striking
them here and there, back and forth
like any pianist. The noise given
forth at his touch delighted him as
much as ever it did a child, and though
there was Of course no tune. yet the
air with which he'would skip over the
keys was highly entertaining.
"And now, Max, let US have a
sing" said Miss Chamberlain as she
seated herself at the piano and began
to play.
He appeared to be in no mood for 1t
and ran of, but she said nothing,
played a few strains and then she and
her mother began to sing. Max at
once scampered up into q chair beside
his mistress; standing with his fore feet
upon the back Of the chair, he stretched
his neck. and tossed his head and went
through all the facial contortions Of a

Requirements in Manuring.


In the successful management of his
farm, every farmer must consider two
points, namely, the necessary require
ments of his soil and the specific re-
quirements of the crop that is to be
grown. The soil may be deficient in
all the elements that 60 to make up fer
tility, and to such an extent as to render
success in the production of any crop
very improbable. Here, then, is a re-
quirement that must be attended to, or
else continued failure will be likely to
be experienced. Or, the soil may be
very peor in potash, in which case pot
ash manure will be required, or again,
it may be deficient in phospboric acid,
in which case the deficiency must be pro-
vided for. Disastrous results may some
times be avoided where there is def
